Sephora Philippines

Doesn’t the name say it all?  The scent of nectarine blossom, honey, peach, black currant, green mandarin. Glistening, hydrating, life-altering bring you to a seaside town. Maybe there’s a lighthouse in a distance, maybe you’re whale-watching on a boat. Anywhere but in the office.

Eva T. tends to get migraines on hot days. This is the only cologne that makes her feel better instantly. “Other scents will make my head hurt. This one is minty cool — not just the scent, but it literally feels cool on your skin too.”

The big bottle will last you for months. Decant some of it into a spritzer so you can carry it around. Tip: put this in the refrigerator to make it doubly refreshing!
